“An ‘Amateur Golfer’ is one who plays the game as a non-remunerative and non-profit making sport and who does not receive remuneration for teaching golf or for other activities because of golf skill or reputation, except as provided in the Rules.”
GFGC does accept Professional Golfers as Members of the Club, however they are not eligible to win any club prize (including NTPs, D&Ps, Long Drive etc), competition or trophy. Club competitions are considered to be amateur competitions only.
